Premium Pick

Cleveland needs to bounce back from Saturday's 101-97 loss in Game One of the series when Donovan Mitchell scored 38 points, but didn't get enough help from his teammates as New York won despite shooting only 42 percent. Jalen Brunson got into some foul trouble and still scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half for the Knicks, who also got the return of Julius Randle from an ankle injury. The Cavaliers will have to get points from more scorers and they are in a near must-win situation as they can't go to New York down 0-2 and the Knicks are in the usual letdown spot as they were able to steal a win on the road before going home. Take the Cavaliers - Max Play
